Jackets QB Marshall expecting ‘a big difference' in 2018

TaQuon Marshall #16 of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets carries the ball against Houshun Gaines #11 of the Virginia Tech Hokies on November 11, 2017 at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. 

ATLANTA — On the first day of spring practice, Georgia Tech quarterback TaQuon Marshall already projected himself differently.

That was the observation of wide receiver Brad Stewart, who shared the huddle with him all of last season, Marshall’s first year as starting quarterback.

TRENDING STORIES:

“Just day one, you could see how smooth he was out there,” Stewart said Monday after the Yellow Jackets’ first spring practice workout. “He didn’t have that transition period like he did last year. He was smooth (Monday), knew the plays, knew what everyone else had to do, really was vocal and had the guys motivated out there.”

Marshall, now going into his senior season, was at times brilliant in his 11 starts in 2017 but also sometimes played like the first-year starter that he was.
